Tires will just wear out with normal use. The depth of the tread on your tire determines how well it will stop, start and steer – especially in wet conditions. 4/32th of an inch (3.2 mm) of tire tread is considered a safe amount of tread. ICE - In Case Of Emergency In Walnut Creek CAPosted October 24, 2021 10:18 AMWhen accidents occur in Walnut Creek, CA, the victims' emergency contacts are extremely important. Too often, those involved aren't able to provide rescuers with phone numbers and medical information. Gilmore's Auto Service Fuel Injector Cleaning at Gilmore's Auto ServicePosted October 17, 2021 10:27 AMIn very simple terms, a fuel injector is a valve that squirts fuel into your vehicle engine. Your engine control computer tells the fuel injector how much fuel to deliver as well as the precise time it should be delivered. Of course this happens thousands of times a minute in every single fuel-injected vehicle driving down Walnut Creek roads. A few have recently introduced gas direct injection systems on some engines. They are now available at some CA dealerships. These systems inject the gas directly into the cylinders under very high pressure – many times the pressure of port injection systems. Although more complicated, direct injection technology promises greater power with improved fuel economy. CA motorists can expect to see more of it in the future. Your technician at Gilmore's Auto Service can perform a fuel system service for you in which the fuel injectors are cleaned so that they operate properly and deliver the right amount of fuel at the right time. Proper maintenance of your vehicle fuel system means that you will spend less on gas, enjoy strong performance and prevent repair bills down the road. Gilmore's Auto Service The Gilmore's Auto Service Guide to Saving Fuel: Get Rid of Dirty OilPosted October 10, 2021 8:48 AMA lot of us drivers are asking ourselves the same question lately: how can we save on fuel? Walnut Creek area residents are all cutting back, if not in fuel consumption, then in other areas of our lives. Preventive Maintenance Preventive maintenance is an important way people in Walnut Creek can conserve fuel by improving fuel economy. And one of the easiest and most effective ways to do that is to keep the oil in our vehicle adequate and clean. Responsible Car Care Dirty oil grits up your engine, which also increases friction. So even if there's enough oil, you're still getting that extra drag that reduces your fuel economy. That's why your owner's manual recommends getting your oil changed regularly. It's good auto advice. Gilmore's Auto Service The Economy of Maintenance for Walnut Creek DriversPosted October 3, 2021 10:51 AMDo I keep my old vehicle or buy a new one?

OUR REVIEWS
Justin Lyon, 05/07/2024Phil was very helpful in scheduling my appointment and even starting to diagnose my issue over the phone. My car wouldn’t drive, wouldn’t go into gear, but he talked me through some troubleshooting and got me going again. That saved me a tow truck fee, thanks, Phil!
